RINCON - A Rincon man is dead and a Springfield man injured after an accident about 1:30 p.m. Monday on Fort Howard Road about a mile from the Georgia-Pacific plant.

The 23-year-old victim, Jeffrey Alan Mitchell, was driving south in a blue Ford F150 when he weaved into the other lane and collided with 21-year-old Jason Hodges, who was driving north in a red Dodge Ram, Georgia State Trooper Henry Gilliard said.

Mitchell apparently had not been feeling well and left his construction job early, Gilliard said. He is believed to have either passed out or fallen asleep before weaving into the other lane.

Drugs or alcohol are not believed to have been involved.

Mitchell died on the scene, and Hodges was taken to St. Joseph's/Candler Hospital in Savannah.
